strange shake on take off, any Ideas?

A strange thing happens when I stomp the gas. The tires break loose and spin like normal, however, when they catch traction the car shakes violently like something is winding up and letting go until I let off the gas and let the car accelerate more slowly. What remedies if any do you know of?

I guess I better crawl under there and feel around. Hope its just a loose bolt. Any other diagnoses are welcome.

You might have worn out rubber bushing out back in the control arms. just by crawling under and tryin to move things around wont show anything is bad. take the control arms out and have a look.

It seems like I need upgrade the suspension all around the car. If I were to upgrade what suspension packages would anybody recommend. I would appreciate it if you would include price. Any other suggestions on the take off problem are still appreciated
